Una tragicommedia, una satira sul materialismo e un grido di dolore e ingiustizia, Timone di Atene raffigura il più grande ottimista di Shakespeare e il suo più veemente pessimista nel suo personaggio centrale, il ricco e illuso Timone. Questa edizione di Shakespeare della Penguin è curata da GR Hibbard con un'introduzione di Nicholas Walton. 'Quale cosa più vile sulla terra degli amici, che può portare le menti più nobili ai fini più bassi. ' Dopo aver sperperato la sua ricchezza con prodiga generosità, un ricco gentiluomo ateniese si ritrova profondamente indebitato. Incurante della prospettiva della bancarotta, è certo che gli amici che ha aiutato così spesso verranno in suo aiuto. Ma quando scoprono che la sua ricchezza è finita, scopre rapidamente che le loro promesse si rivelano vane in questa tragica esplorazione del potere, dell'avidità e della lealtà tradita. Questo libro contiene un'introduzione generale alla vita di Shakespeare e al teatro elisabettiano, un'introduzione separata all'opera, una cronologia, suggerimenti per ulteriori letture, un saggio che esamina le opzioni di rappresentazione sia sul palcoscenico che sullo schermo e un commento. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) nacque da John Shakespeare e Mary Arden alla fine di aprile del 1564 a Stratford-upon-Avon. Scrisse circa 38 opere teatrali (il numero preciso è incerto), molte delle quali sono considerate le opere drammatiche più eccezionali mai prodotte, tra cui Romeo e Giulietta (1595), Enrico V (1599), Amleto (1601), Otello (1604), Re Lear (1606) e Macbeth (1606), oltre a una raccolta di 154 sonetti, che sono tra le poesie d'amore più profonde e influenti in lingua inglese.
